i have had my 2001 grizzly for about 2 1/2 years and i only have about 330 miles on it.i started it up to let it warm and after a few minutes i started hearing some strange sounds from the transmission area.it sounds like it's the belt drive,can anyone tell me if this is a project i could tackle myself or should i pay those sky high labor prices.thanks for your help

 

If it is the V-belt then it is an easy job to fix if you possess limited mechanical knowledge/ skill. The problem is that if it has been over 2 years since you have owned the atv you should regrease the primary and secondary sheave while you are there. Unless you are handy with a wrench you may want to get help or take it to be repaired. It will require special tools and a service manual to do the job. Remember to use a torque wrench on all bolts if you do the job yourself.
